    I bought the Zalman NC-2000 last year and its running good on my Sager D900C.

    Im wondering if there is anything out there that is more powerful than this? Im looking for anything that can outperfom the ZALMAN right now. Do any of you guys seen anything that fits that criteria? Ive already checked google and havnt found anything. Are there any coolers out there that use the regular electric plug rather than usb power from laptop?

    The Zalman NC-2000 cooler has the fans on the bottom of the cooler cooling your harddisk more (i think).

    I got the NZXT Cryo LX and to be honest, i don't really get the idea that it cools my M17 good. Next to that it makes a quite amount of noise when the fans are at full speed.
